Underdog? Damn... I guess since he is 6-0-0 people think hes going to win?

Rothwell is good but Cain is a big step up in competition than what Ben has faced. I hope he pulls it off.

Some good fights tonight.

The main event decision was an absolute joke. Shogun dominated that fight and you could see it on Machida's face right before the decision was read. Very classy by Shogun after the fight despite what appeared to be a terrible decision.

Cain dominated his fight against Rothwell and regardless of the end of the fight would have likely ended it shortly there after.

Stevenson looked completely dominant in his fight and had a great end in a knockout.

And Anthony Johnson looks like an absolute freak. As much weight as he cuts he looks like he was fighting in a different weight class. It will be interesting to see if he can continue to cut so much weight or will just decide to move up.

Total B.S. decision on that fight. It's one thing for the judges to favour the defending champ, but for that fight to be a unanimous decision for Machida was brutal.

I read that he didn't make weight. By a lot. 5lbs.

He did! I saw the weigh in video and he looked like he was about to pass out due to the cut. He needs to be 185 - plain and simple. He had to fork over 20% of his purse to his opponent. I honestly think there should be stiffer penalties when someone misses weight by that much. There was a total of 3 fighters that were over weight for tonight's fights.

Yep. And Johnson missed out on a $60k bonus for KOofN. Apparently he was ineligible because of not making weight.

He said he had a knee injury that kept him from cutting. I'm still not sure he shouldn't just move up anyway.
